Honda Türkiye A.Ş. is a former car manufacturer based in Gebze, Turkey and a subsidiary of Honda.

History

Since 1986, Honda vehicles have been distributed by Çelik Motor (a company of the Anadolu Group) in Turkey.[1]

In 1992, joint venture "Anadolu Honda Otomobilcilik A.Ş." was founded, in which the Anadolu Group and Honda each held 50%.[2] In 1996, the foundation was laid for a factory of its own, in which production began in late 1997 and early 1998.[2][3][4] In 2002, Honda took over full control of company from the Anadolu Group.[2][5] In the same year, the motorcycle production in Turkey was finished.[6]

Between 2002 and 2006, annual production increased from around 5,400 to more than 18,000 vehicles.[7] Honda announced that it will close its factory in Şekerpınar, Gebze which started production at the end of 1997, in a global decision in September 2021. [8]

Models

The first model produced from 1998 was the Civic.[2][3] Production covers most of the EU market.[9] In December 2005, production of the City started, but in 2016 it was discontinued.[2][10]
